Monitoring IBM Cloud DNS
Monitoring your IBM Cloud DNS records automatically is made easy with ZoneWatcher. After you've added your account credentials, we will automatically import all of your domains and begin monitoring them for changes.
Generating your IBM Cloud API Token
To get started adding your IBM Cloud account, you'll first want to generate a new API token on IBM Cloud dashboard. We use this token to automatically fetch the domains and associated DNS records. We recommend creating a new IAM user limited to the Read-Only permissions for the DNS service.
Creating your IBM Cloud DNS Provider
Once you've retrieved your API token, you can create your new IBM Cloud DNS provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and pasting the Secret into the API token field. You'll also need to copy the Instance ID from IBM Cloud into the Instance ID field.
Monitoring Your Zones
After you've created your IBM Cloud DNS provider, we will sync all the zones associated with your account and their associated DNS records. You'll be able to view them from either the Provider's page or the Zone Dashboard.
